Library Book Caching System is a fair attempt for booking the library books for issue-return transactions well before the library user visits the library in person to a physical library. This novel idea is an attempt to resolve long book-issue-return transaction queues due to which library users often face long library-queue wait hours, each time they visit the library for availing library facilities. As a result, remotely commuting students, staff and faculty along with day scholars never try visiting libraries for issuing books. Hence, the caching portal is intended to resolve such transaction issues by facilitating such students / faculty to undergo booking requests for the books well beforehand. Such requests shall be seen as daily book cache summaries for taking the books from shelves before the library users visit transaction windows. The tentative date / time of seeking books can be signaled to the requesting users after the books have been cached near the windows. Such a caching portal of any physical library helps library staff to resolve long wait queues of library visitors and hence, undesirable chaos near the transactional windows. It also reduces the workload of library staff and increases the time-utilization of work hours.
